Statusbar

[sjn78]

This is really about passing a variable from one form to another, but this is what I am doing.

Have an mdi form with a statusbar. The child forms load and I want to send strings to the statusbar.

I have read threads about creating classes and stuff and have tried, but without any luck.

Just wondering if anyone has done this and could give me a quick overview on what is required.

Thanks

Steve

If you cant access directly though the childs methods then create a reference to the parent form and modify its status bar that way

When you load your child pass in the status bar instance into the child constructor.
